Maybe there is a cheaper way to get food? :D This would be a great way of getting free meat and veggies.
I've worked for Costco before and I've never understood how they could just throw away so much food. Like tons of it a day. And I'm not even talking about spoiled stuff. It always bothered me.
I don't think eshlow is recommending vitamin D supplements; he's pointing out that no one that spends a reasonable time outside should have a vitamin D deficiency.
EDIT: @Majinmojo, I think it's because there's been a case of a store giving out day old/just expired food to homeless people, then being sued by someone who ate some of the food and claimed to get sick. Companies are just fed up with dealing with overly litigious people that they just throw away food. They don't want to deal with the liability.

ok back workout today, nothing in comparison to the insane chest workout which I did yesterday that I think was overdoing it but still feels good . Finally however managed to break the 100kg post-injury deadlift barrier, very tentatively though because I am always running the risk of re-aggravating my injury!
You're absolutely correct; my knowledge is extremely outdated. Reading more into it now, my bad. Thanks for clearing this issue up.
dude, great reply, the sort of manner acknowledgement that makes TLHF a great place to come to.
remember: never get into a dispute with eshlow :D

ahaha, been reading Arnie's autobiography. Fucking awesome stuff, makes me laugh:
These reactions gave me added motivation to continue build- ing my body. I wanted to get bigger so I could really impress the girls who liked it and upset the others even more. Not that girls were my main reason for training. Far from it. But they added incentive and I figured as long as I was getting this attention from them I might as well use it. I had fun. I could tell if a girl was repelled by my size. And when I'd catch her looking at me in disbelief, I would casually raise my arm, flex my bicep, and watch her cringe. It was always good for a laugh.

Today's workout: FS: 5 singles at 150 Snatch: 8x1 @ 80, 2x1 @ 90, 2x1 @ 100 (wtf its amazing how something as little as your line up of sight can change the difference between a miss and a make on your snatch) CJ: God i dont even know, did powerclean + jerk up to 3x100, 3x110, then normal CJ for a few reps at 120, then a few misses at 130, then back down to PC + jerk @ 110, 115, 120 (felt even easier!), then miss at 125, then a few back off reps at 110. Power clean felt super good today, i even powered 125 but then it pinned me T_T
Then followed up with 2 hours of rugby practice :D Going to absolutely dominate everything and everyone at the tournament this weekend in chicago. I SHALL NOT BE STOPPED. And my all american teammate will help me pwn :D

Same thing with me at the school cafeteria. It's completely legal bullshit, i.e. we give out free food to a shelter and someone gets sick -> school gets sued to hell and back.
@sjarl - manly pictures!

how reasonable is it to eat off wood instead of your tummy?
I've been downloading workout playlists from torrent sites and trying to make an uber mix: if anyone has any workout tracks they like, feel free to hit me up here or by PM.
Fucking unreal. Slowly builds up until I want to crush weights with my bare hands biceps.
what liquid use in fuck? (sAviOr for life)

I'll take advantage of the summer and go outside more often when it's a good day out. Not much I can do about my diet to fix this problem since my parents are still in charge of what I eat for most of the time so, I'll scout around for affordable vitamin D supplements.
Why don't you just drink milk ?
Milk has 400 IU per cup.
You produce 10,000 IU in your body in the summer sun if you were naked for 30 minutes.
The amount in milk is really insignificant...
I was actually referring to the supplements he himself and you seem to have suggested, why on earth would you put money into supplements if a normal food product such as milk has enough to last for the day? Add to that the fact that milk is a really good protein source... Again, why supplements?
Generally speaking, I recommend to supplement if
1.you're sick and/or 2. don't spend a lot of time outdoors.
You can get some through diet but not a lot. There is no real substitute for being outdoors besides supplementation. (And even outdoors is limited during the winter if you're not nearer to the equator).
I don't think people want to be drinking a gallon of milk a day for 1,600 IU when that's not even 1/6th of what you get outside in less than an hour on a sunny day.
Since large dose vitamin D can effectively "treat" forms of respiratory tract infections like the flu THAT is why I tend to recommend supplementation especially high dose when you're sick. It works even moreso when you're deficient as well.

S'all good man. I don't really expect most people to know about random associations like that anyway.
But still... if you ever question something I say just ask for the studies or hit up pubmed/google scholar yourself and see what you can find. Sometimes even what I say is a bit outdated given new studies.

Hmm, it looks like I was lactose intolerant after all. Whenever I would drink milk, I would get extreme bloating, nausea, insane farting, and often times a stomach ache. Lactase enzyme pills cleared that right up.
Anyway, I'm bulking up nicely. Currently at 94kg body weight, and every session's weights get easier, even though I'm increasing them linearly at 2.5kg/session. Once I'm able to squat 140kg I think I'm going to wait until my squat stalls one more time and then jump onto Smolov or another heavy squatting program.
I have a question about squat stance. People generally say that you should widen your stance to allow your gut to go between your legs when you hit low depth, but I've seen more than a few Olympic lifters (notably Jon North of California Strength and Eduardo Guadamud of Ecuador) use a very narrow stance while back squatting ... is this a matter of personal preference? I rather like to use a kind of narrow stance for back squat, but I'm not sure I should.

Did you read the Glenn Pendlay posts on high bar vs low bar squatting back like..... 200 some odd pages ago?
I think the same thing applies to wide stance power lifting style squat vs. narrow stance squat.
Narrow stance is what you're going to build your strength on... and if you want to show expressions of that power you do a wider stance.
Now obviously you get better at what you practice a lot so if you're doing Oly or anything like that in the future it's much better to go narrow.
Basically, if you're an athlete I recommend narrow. If you want to go into powerlifting I would recommend a wider stance.

[Are there any other workouts/excerices that work the upper and lower back? Well i have been doing deadlifts but i can't afford weights for a few months so would deadlifts still be beneficial for me if i do higher reps? I can about 50-60kg 3 sets x 15 reps but i feel its getting too easy now.

Yea sorry my question was abit too broad. No i don't have a squat rack so that was why i was just doing deadlifts to train my back and quads instead of doing squats. But i can make my next priority to get a squat rack. i didn't think squats helped/worked your back (does it?)
I want an excercise that can help my overall back more (as my deadlift weights are too easy), and can be fitted with my Bench press so i can do both on the same day(same workout).

I was thinking more along the lines of using the squat rack to do goodmornings, rather than squats. I should have said that in my post before. Squats do work your back but not as much as the deadlifts you've been doing.
